Those of us waiting eagerly for the film adaptation of The Thursday Murder Club have a few major reasons to get excited.

Last year, Netflix announced that it was turning Richard Osman’s best-selling novel into a film, to be led by an all-star cast led by Dame Helen Mirren, Sir Ben Kingsley, Pierce Brosnan and Celia Imrie.

Since then, other exciting additions to the cast, including David Tennant and Naomi Ackie, have also been announced, while Harry Potter and Home Alone filmmaker Chris Columbus on directing duties.

On Thursday afternoon, a series of first-look images from the Thursday Murder Club set were unveiled by Netflix – along with its release date.

There are now just a few short months to go until the film begins streaming on Netflix on Thursday 28 August.

While pictures of David’s character are still being kept under wraps, Dame Helen, Sir Ben, Pierce, Celia and Naomi’s characters are all teased in the new images.

There’s also a glimpse of Henry Lloyd-Hughes in character as Bogdan.

Former Pointless star Richard Osman – who created the Thursday Murder Club book series – has previously shared his excitement for the project, claiming the film has the “greatest British cast assembled since the [Harry Potter] movies”.

Other members of the Thursday Murder Club cast include Oscar nominees Jonathan Pryce and Richard E Grant, West End star Daniel Mays, Miranda fave Tom Ellis and Doctor Who star Ingrid Oliver (who happens to be married to Richard Osman, after meeting on an episode of his show House Of Games).

The Thursday Murder Club was released in 2020, and has already spawned a string of sequels, including The Man Who Died Twice, The Bullet That Missed and The Last Devil To Die.

A fifth instalment in the franchise is also due for publication in 2025.
